Chance to gain Elusive on Crit + Spell Totem

Hey guys, so I got the elusive on crit mod on some redeemer boots and it applies to my totems when they crit.

I can see them turn green and everything, but are they actually benefitting from the elusive?

Obv they can't get increased move speed & I know that tailwind doesn't work cuz you can't increase totem action speed.

Can totems dodge?

They surely do, but why?

Was messing around trying to figure out best boot mods and was reading that tailwind doesn't work, so I wanted to try elusive.

Dark pact totems don't live very long vs big bosses so the extra dodge might help them stay alive a bit longer.

*shrugs*

I like to do off-meta things I guess

It'll trigger from frost wall and vortex too even though they don't do damage. (They can still technically crit for no damage) so it's kinda cool.

Edit: I forgot to change the boots in POB, so I added it and checked elusive and it says it works. Thank you for answer :)
